re-viewing

I take a lot more photos than I can ever show here; some are for various projects, some are to record certain things, and some are taken simply for pleasure. So to end the year, I thought I'd show a few favourite, previously unseen photos that sum up 2010 for me.

Hands played a big part in my year, as ever. I used them to knit, as guides for my textures book, and to make arrangements with Phoebe on the beach at Aldeburgh. I also photographed the little cousins' hands.

Circles of colour

I grew tulips,

and played with colour. Nothing new there, but colour never loses its brightness for me.

Steps

[Steps down at High and Over in Amersham]

I saw some amazing Modernist architecture and the Modernists did staircases and steps quite brilliantly.

Comforts

I ate a lot of toast and even photographed some.

I also discovered the fun that can be had with the Hipstamatic app - very useful when I came across the most cheerful red and white facilities I have ever seen. (At the Bankside branch of Leon.)

Still love your pics of tulips. I'm a tulip lover too! Have a bag of bulbs waiting to be planted, which, I know, should have been done by now. However, we were so snowed in over the November/December period that I couldn't do it. Think it'll be a little project I will do with the kids.
